Austin Riley, the third baseman for the Atlanta Braves, was removed from Sunday's game after experiencing tightness in his left side, which was described as a precautionary measure by the team. Riley, who had previously felt discomfort during batting practice, did not exit the game immediately after the incident but was later taken out. He is not in the lineup for tonight's game and is currently awaiting MRI results to determine the severity of his injury. The Braves are hopeful he can avoid a stint on the injured list, pending the results of his MRI.
Braves now saying Riley hasn't had the imaging done yet. So, the results might not be available until after the game.

#Braves third baseman Austin Riley left the game after the top of the fourth inning due to tightness in his left side. Team characterized it as a precautionary move. Looked like he felt it on a swing in a third-inning strikeout.
